That's weird.  If it isn't operator error (the interface can be
confusing, especially since it is doing something complicated, and isn't
used often enough to get used to the quirks), then it sounds like a bug.

But, the better way to do this, is to manually create the partitions
you want for the second install, rsync the original install, and fix
the /etc/fstab.  A lot faster.

I've run two versions of Fedora doing it this way, when I was going to
upgrade one of them to a later version or rawhide, without problem.
Never tried installing a second version, though I have successfully
installed many times with other versions of Fedora on the system. I
can't think of a reason why installing a second version would be an
issue, but you could open a bugzilla to see what the developers think.
The code is the final arbiter.
